- Use the "hostid" command - the first two digits are a code for the cpu
- type. To decode the cpu type look in /usr/include/mon/idprom.h. For
- example on this system:
-
- % hostid
- 5542560d
- % more /usr/include/mon/idprom.h

- Now 55 corresponds to IDM_SUN4C_75 (yes a sparcStation 2).

- Hope you like the two jokes in the above file as well.
